Mission San Jose

San José, as it became known, was the largest of the missions in the area. At its height, the community contained about 350 Indian neophytes, sustained by extensive fields and herds of livestock. Viewed as the model among the Texas missions, San José gained a reputation as a major social and cultural center. It became known as the “Queen of the Missions.” Its imposing complex of stone walls, bastions, granary, and magnificent church was completed by 1782.  It is known as the “Queen of the Missions”.

From Green Wedding Shoes…

We love all of the interesting places creativity + inspiration can hide. Case in point: today’s stunner of a shoot, all inspired by the simplest of things – a pretty, little yellow apple. Conceptualized, styled and photographed by the lovely Apryl Ann, with styling + planning support from Birds of a Feather, this editorial is filled with elegant + understated details and the prettiest of palettes. Apryl says, I have always loved opal apples and wanted to incorporate it somehow into my own wedding however due to it’s season ending before my wedding date, I thought it would be neat to design some wedding inspiration around it.

After choosing her color story, based on a Willem de Kooning painting filled with pretty pastels, Apryl decided she wanted to embody the feel of messy tables and slicing apples…love it! She then brought some of her favorite vendors on board including Yeti and the Beast for paper goods + The Southern Table for florals. She told her team We are channeling the French hostess + the design plans were soon underway…
